Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Taco bar hire for your event in Hawkhurst
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At team socials and leaving dos, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and burrito bowls.
In and around Hawkhurst, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Where the truck can go in Hawkhurst
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
